Challenge: Create a cool concept for a 10' x 20' tradeshow booth that:
A) Includes a changing room
B) Displays product in an eye catching manner
C) Incorporates a video display
D) Fits completely in four pieces of checked luggage
This was the situation we tackled with our friend Colt Bowden exactly one week ago, while preparing for the Surf Expo tradeshow in Orlando, Florida. With plenty of paint and not much cash, Colt managed to bust out one of his best works yet - a four panel, 20' foot long hand painted canvas mural, sewn together in four sections with his trusty, decades old Kenmore sewing machine.
After rolling up the finished canvas and dismantling our own wooden display, we actually managed to fit the entire contents of our 10' x 20' tradeshow booth into four pieces of checked luggage, including a 70 pound snowboard bag full of rope, pipe, a drill, and of course, our full size VW bus tent!

It wasn't exactly easy, but the booth looked great and we definitely saved a few pennies along the way. A heartfelt thanks goes out to Seeababes Luki O'Keefe and Vanessa Maestri for their help during the show, and to all the shops we met, thanks so much for stopping by!
